Yo guys, I'm another one of those longtime readers who just decided to sign up. I've only been watching basketball for about 6 years, and I'm definitely no bball expert so don't bash my opinions lol. But I'm a big Raptor fan and I'll try to contribute in a positive way.

Just kidding. The good news is that most of the folks who stomp all over other posters, accusing them of being stupid are just bores...no need to pay attention to them at all.

Those types don't usually last long though. I think it is why these forums are such a good place overall. If you can be polite disagreements are not only tolerated but welcomed - well, in my opinion.... feel free to disagree

Been reading for a while and decided it is time to jump in. I've been a huge fan of the Raps and I hope this forum is turns out to be what i expect. Intelligent conversation! I will at be respectful and contribute the best way I can.

Welcome aboard! A fresh opinion is always welcome on RR!

You've picked the best time to 'test the waters' so to speak, as today's trending threads are debating which Raptor rookie's photo is sexiest, which Raptor would win ACC Hunger Games and which Raptor coach/player is most Hitler-esque... oh man, training camp can't start soon enough! lol

I guess I kinda missed this thread and went straight to posting my own (ROY chances, positive review, Casey Impact) and have loved every minute of it so far. I've noticed there are some people on the main page where things seem to get out of sorts and sadly my work pc has issues with me posting on the main page, but hopefully the good stuff is all in the forum threads anyway.

Love the chance for intelligent discussion about basketball. I have spent the last 5 years coaching in middle school and high school and none of my friends really watch much, so it is hard to find an intelligent NBA discussion (how many times can I argue with my players that LeBron isn't the greatest ever!!). So anyway, sorry to ramble, but wanted to thanks everyone for making this a great site and warm reception I've seen so far.
